[quote][blue]we can understand the importance of the practical teachings by the prophet sws,and ijma'(consensus) 'n tawatur(perpetuation) from the following. 
for example Qur'an gives hukum/order for  sala'h; all the following details were given 'n forwarded by the prophet pbuh in their perfect and final form.same goes for other aspects of worship and all practical matters in life.

if Qur'an gave details of every rule 'n regulation it has passed/ordered, there would have been so much of text that it would be difficult to handle it/carry it/read it-something like the guru book, Sri Guru Granth Sahib in sikhism i had a chance to see-remains in the temple and whoever has to read must come to the temple and do so.

[red]iv. Qawmah[/red]
 
When the Prophet (sws) would rise after kneeling, he would stand up straight such that his spine would come back to its original position.[62] Generally, he would stand for the same amount of time as he would kneel but sometimes would stand for longer periods of time giving the impression that he had forgotten to proceed for the next ritual.[63] He would remark: “A person’s prayer would not be worth God’s attention who while rising after kneeling does not straighten his back and goes into prostration.”[64]
 
 
 
[red]v. Prostration[/red]
 
When the Prophet (sws) would go into prostration, he would join his fingers and spread his palms.[65] The fingers would face the ka‘bah[66] and the hands would be placed adjacent to the shoulders and sometimes in front of the ears[67] and so far apart that a baby goat could pass below them.[68] He would also keep apart his arms from his body to the extent that a person standing behind him could see the whiteness of his arm pits.[69] He would place his feet upright,[70] join both his heels,[71] and would turn the fingers of his feet in the direction of the ka‘bah.[72] He would say: “I have been directed to prostrate through my forehead, nose, both hands, both knees and the fore-feet.”[73]

vi. Jilsah[/red]
 
In between the two prostrations, the Prophet (sws) would spread his feet and composedly sit on them.[74] He would use up almost equal time in jilsah, prostration, qawmah[75]; however, sometimes, like qawmah, he would sit in the jilsah for a long time giving the impression that he had forgotten to proceed.[76] It has also been reported that sometimes instead of standing up straight after the second prostration, he would sit down and then stand up for the next rak‘at.[77]
 
 
 
[red]vii. Qa‘dah[/red]
 
The Prophet (sws) would sit in qa‘dah in just the same way as in jilsah by spreading one feet and sitting on it.[78] The right foot would be upright[79] and he would spread his right hand on the right knee and the left one on the left knee and would raise his pointing finger.[80] He would do this by coiling all the other fingers and placing his thumb on the centre finger and sometimes would make a circle with both of them.[81]
 
In the last rak‘at of the prayer, he would sometimes sit in a manner that he would place his left hip on the floor and take out the left feet towards the right one.[82]
 
To the end the prayer, he would generally turn to both his right and his left. [83]
 
He would complete all these rituals of the prayer with thoroughness and diligence and would counsel people to do so as well.[84]
